Donor hhr in back yard, pulled rim/tire off of it. I didn't replace driver side though.

If it was enough force to tear the wheel off, then any part of the suspension is suspect to have damage. Even the unibody may be "tweaked" and out of spec.
I would say it needs to go to a body shop and be measured and checked for damage on a jig machine.

I'll be 100% honest, I didn't even think of that. I'll get it back up in the air and check that this weekend.

I ended up ripping off the lca on both sides, putting in new ones and new lca rear bolts, tighten the nuts on top of shocks.

What really sucks, the weld nut on passenger rear, came in welded. Had to rip off the the cage, and cut the weld nut off. Ended up having to cut a small hole inside the car, right above the lca bolt to do it. Rewelded what I cut, painted put carpet back.

Instead of weld nut and cage, it's now welded metal plate and grade 10 lock nut
